Iowa Governor Chet Culver...

...is running for reelection in 2010 against former Governor Terry Branstad. Recently, Culver said:

"I'm proud of the fact that I stand for the little guy."

Of course he does. All politicians say that; people love to hear it. He stands for me!

Yesterday, BP Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg, who is Swedish, said:

"I hear comments sometimes that large oil companies are greedy companies who don't care. But that is not the case in BP. We care about the small people."

Small people? Americans were up in arms! Who are you calling small?

Svanberg later apologized for his insensitive remarks.
